Abstract
This study provided the first evidence for an antioxidant action of the silk protein sericin by showing that sericin suppressed in vitro lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, sericin was found to inhibit tyrosinase activity. These results suggest that sericin may be a valuable natural ingredient for food and cosmetic industries.Entities:
